The Most Important Fundraising Email You’ll Get Today!!!

Well, I hope you watched the Democratic Convention in Chicago this week. Quite a contrast to the Republican Convention in Milwaukee, where former President Trump confidently improvised a 90-some-minute monologue that passed as an acceptance speech.

We had our former (and current) presidents speak — Clinton, Obama, Biden. Former President Carter couldn’t make it. He had a good excuse. 

And Hillary Clinton gave a brilliant speech about all the cracks in the glass ceiling that Vice President Kamala Harris will smash on November 5th. If we all do our work.

“Fellow Americans, this election is not only the most important of our lives,” Vice President Harris said during the final night of the convention. “It is one of the most important in the life of our nation.” 

Midwest Values PAC is investing in the most crucial races in the country, including — and as we always do — in ground-game operations in key battleground states.

Ground game means door-knocking. Because of your help we can support organizations focused on mobilizing voters. And the most effective way of identifying our voters and making sure they vote is door-knocking! 

I hope you can donate your time to volunteer — phone-banking, door-knocking, or writing postcards! But we can also use your dollars to get organizers on the ground in the key states that will determine who our next president will be.
And thanks!

P.S. I won my first race for the Senate by 312 votes. Al Gore lost Florida by 537 votes in 2000. Every vote is crucial!

Somehow, it’s been 20 years since I started Midwest Values PAC to help Democrats win elections — from progressive organizations to state legislatures to Congress to the White House — who share the values I grew up with in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.

Since 2006, Midwest Values PAC has invested more than $4 million in 341 candidates and organizations — and counting. 

Of course, none of this happens without you (or supporters like you) who care enough to pitch in.

As we mark our 20th anniversary, the work is more urgent than ever. This year, we have a big job: flip the House, take the Senate, and win up and down the ballot at the state and local level.

To mark our 20th year, we’ve set an ambitious goal: 26,000 contributions by Election Day 2026.

Thanks for being part of this fight, and for sticking with us for 20 years (or for just joining — welcome!).

P.S. Over the years, okay, decades, we’ve helped Democrats win tough races all across the country by investing early, intelligently, and strategically. That’s how you flip seats. That’s how you protect democracy. And that’s how you stop the worst impulses of a president who never should have been president in the first place.
